she stopped. :
But Sartoris did not lose his presence
of mind.-v 1 .
"Oh, fire away, my little fellow," he
said in his slow voice, "but if you
shoot as straight as you ride you
won't make yonr lister a tt1;1ow ami
I shan't be able to make her'a wife."
! The unexpected directness of this at
tack upon the emotions of Harry dis
concerted him and involuntarily he
lowered his weapon.
"Quite so," said Sartoris, and then
to point out quite clearly to the other
bis own lack of nerves .he drew him
self a cfip of cofTee from the still sim
mering machine.
"Have a cup?"' he asked. "No? "Well,
then let's take all tliat as said and talk

Do you think I'd buy my honor at the
price of his?";
ense. You want, me to" marry your
sister. I dont want The Whip to win
the Two Thousand. I've backed some
thing else. Lord Beverley never "bets.
It would do no harm if you didn't ride
yonr best." - -
I ride my best or not at all," re
turned tbe Jockey, for the moment, at
thought of bis glorious horse, forget
ting h Is own misery .
"Zot what I mean," said Sartoris.
Bide The Whip by all means, but pull
her a little, my good boy, and perhaps
"Too dare say that to me, who's al
ways been an honest lad!" came from
the jockey. - i
"Do you prefer that to her being an
honest" began Sartoris.
Harry had now absently placed his
revolver on Sartoris writing table, and
lie bad forgotten it
. ,4 . Quickly Myrtle went to Harry as a
cry of Indignation came from both
brother and sister.
That's the price," continued Lady
XManaB cousin. "Here's you chance.
What d'yoa say?"
Before Harry could frame a reply
y- Myrtl had answered.
. "No," . she said strongly, her bead
now erect and proud. "Do you think
I'd bay my honor at the price of his?
-- No. You've robbed me, but you shan't
,r TdtT bim. If I must face shame I'll
face it alone."
is Ho, you won't; not while I'm here,
as," said tbe brother to his sister.
v Well go to his lordship straight.
Hell seejustice done when he knows
--- what you are. Captain Sartoris." '
' " "And what she Is," pnt in Sartoris
quickly. " "Don't forget that. Hold
yoor tongue and I'm quite willing to
provide for her and hold mine. But
" talk of her or her lovers"
A sadden exctemation at the threat
of Sartoris came from Myrtle. But
i j Harry put his arm about her.
"Come away, lass," he said. "It's a
fine thing, sir, for a gentleman to foul
a girl's good name to try to break a
t. poor lad's pride but yoa can't As
farthing. Lord knows what dirty way
It was got. We're going now, but
when me meet, if her sorrow does tie
my tongue mind this I'm Just a sta
ble lad, but I'm honest, and whenever f
I look you straight in the fae I know
you for the lying dog you are!"
And then they left Sartoris to his
cigarette and his evening paper, over
which he stretched himself on a sofa.
CHAPTER X.
The New Dr. Crippen.
HE WHIP'S trainer, Tom Lam
bert, had gone to Mme. Tus-
saud's primarily out of vanity. ;
He had had the chance to act '
as guide" to a party of the upper serv-y
ants of Palconhurst. and as he had vis
ited the place seven years before he
thought this would be a fine opportun
ity to show off. : . F . J.
. But unfortunately many changes had '
taken place1 in" the arrangetnen(ra5&d f
character of the wax figures, and so -the
party, had voted Lambert not only .
a poor,, but a badly informed guide. f
And his vanity had been hurt.
Then, to cap the climax, the little boy
of a married member of the party bad
whined constantly that he .wanted to
see Dr. Crippen in the group, of mur
derers set in the chamber of horrors
tn a jury box. Lambert had led the
way finally to the. murderer's group ,
and. reading bis catalogue, had7 found
that No. 9 was Dr. Crippen. But wheii
he pointed to No. 9 he found that mere
ly the number was there. "He did not
know that Dr. Crippen had - been re
moved to be fixed up a bit by the re
pairer. .It was Saturday night, and Dr.;
Crippen conld be spared until Monday,
when he would have a firmer pair of
legs. "' .
So, In the end, the party left the dis
graced Lambert alone in the chamber
of horrors. He was just about to leave y
when Myrtle Anson came in. . She bad
known that the Falconhurst party of r
servants had gone there. ' - '.
"Why, Myrtle, my lass!" he exclaim
ed kindly. . ' ., ,. ;r : ;
The flrirl nlnnired nr. nnra Info lioi or.
I rand with him.
"I . want to tell you something you
alone and I want you to promise me ;
that whatever I tell you you won't
tell any one ever that I told you," J
"Of course I will, my lass," he said, j
"Whafs wrong?"
"It's about The Whip. Some one
wants to stop her winning," she said,
realizing that her task would be very
difficult, if .she were going to succeed
j in telling just '. what she wanted to
' without telling all.
"Lots do, but they won't,", answered
tb confident trainer.' not taking er at
. all seriously. "She'll just romp in."
"But this is one who means' to stop
, her. by fair, means or foul," she went
: on. ' "He tried to get Harry "to " pull
I her."
"And Harry knocked him down, I
hope," snorted the trainer.
"He couldn't do that but but he
refused you know he would and he
wasn't going to speak for for my
sake but I couldn't rest." The girl
was becoming confused in her effort
to tell but a part of the truth, tbe part
that would serve merely as a warning.
"I was afraid that he the person
might try to injure The Whlri some
way to prevent her running" '"
"Who is he?" sternly asked the
arobsed horseman.
, "I don't want to tell you that," she
said. "Don't ask me. I only came to
warn you to watch the horse so that
they mayn't have a chance to injure
her." .
. "How :3i I when I don't know
where . the danger's coming from?"
continued Lambert, the drops appear
ing on his forehead as he tried to pene
trate behind her words. "Look here,
Myrtlev my lass. You've told me so
much you've got to tell me the rest.
Come, now. I've got to know the man's
name who wants to nobble The Whip."
"No, noT'
"But I say, yes. It's your duty to
them as has reared you and looked to
you all your life. Out with it what's
his name?"
Under his compelling earnestness the
girl's head drooped. Then she raised
It bravely and, looking him sqaare in
the eye, said:
"It's Captain Sartoris."
"His lordship's cousin you're dream-

LU
1 lag," be said in amazement-'
"I'm not," sue asserteTL "I wish I
Were. I swear it."
Into the agonized sense of the train
er there came to him from the hall out
side a roice he knew and loved and
feared well, too.
Mrs. Beamish was saying:
"Oh, my good , woman, don't come
and bother me." 1 -
Into the air fairly leaped Lambert.
"That's her voice. a' thousand to
nothing," he inniented.; ' " - - '
"Mrs. Beamish!" the girl exclaimed.
"Yes," went on the perturbed trainer,
"and if she catches you and mo to-
"7, l
"Out with it what's his name?
gether again, I'm done for Una
away, my gal-f or goodness' sake, go
away right out of the building write
to me I mean Til write to you we 11
keep writing to one another." ' ...
He was now hopping up and down
in his agitation.
"Is this the chamber , of horrors?"
asked outside, the dry voice he, feared
so much. '
-' "I should say it was," groaned Tom,
Myrtle was amused for the moment
"What are you going to do?" she
asked. .
"Goodness knows," he said, looking
about the room for another means of
exit.- But he could find none. Finally
he scanned closely each little den and
even each figure and turn. His eye
fell upon the jury box and the vacant
place in the group of murderers where
Dr, : Crippen had stood. "'
1 7ui) r ne repeateu, as muen Im
spiratlon came to him. "I'm going: to
be Dr. Crippen."
In a moment he had darted up the
little flight of steps that led into the
Jury box, had stepped over the railing
and was standing posing in the place
lately occupied by the wax figure of
Dr. Crippen. A black silk handker
chief he had taken from another figure
he tied about his throat so 'that it
resembled the beard of Dr.. Crippen.'
He had barely assumed his motion
less posture, with his chest swelling out
at hip. forethought, when Mrs. Beam
ish entered, followed at a distance by
a woman in the shabby weeds of a
poor widow. . . j . - v
,; Myrtle turned and came face to face
with Mrs. Beamish. - The latter had
'known that Tom Lambert was to
guide the Falconhurst servants through
the place and had drawn her own con
elusions. '
"Good evening, ma'am," said Myrtle
quiet respectfully.- -1 '
"More than can be said of the even
: lng's work," commented the outraged
Mrs. Beamish-as she glanced about.
"Where's your accomplice?"
"My what ma'am?" the girl asked.
"The man you've -been keeping 'an
assignation with," snapped .Lady Di
ana's companion. 5 ; T ; ;- ; ,;
"I have k'epfno assignation! with any
man," the' girl said, her tones still re-

spectfui toward this woman whose
Jealousy she knew and sympathized
with.
"You may. tell that to the marines,
my girl," went on the jealous woman.
"I know better and you ought to. A
man old enough to be your father and
ngly enough to frighten the crows."
"I don't" began Myrtle.
"You may go how," said Mrs. Beam
ish, and Myrtle, who had not relished
this scene with the jealous woman,
went at once." ' ;

POLI'S THEATER
Closing tonight is the biggest show
that has been upon the Poll boards
this season. 1 With armost five acts,
which in theatrical parlance are call
ed "full stage," requiring the largest
space devoted to the showing of en
tertainments, it has been said about
town that. Manager Poll has excelled
even his prodigality in offering to the
public what -they really want at pop
ular prices. .- . s; .
A most happy surprise was sprung
upon the public Monday night and all
day . yesterday . when Francis Yates,
the only man whom Julian EJltinge
fears in woman Impersonation, was
sent to Bridgeport to produce his act
which next week goes to Europe for
six months. Dressed as a woman
and with the mort magnificent soprano
voice this "perfect woman" appears
for one scene and then dressing be
hind a transparent screen divulges
himself in the,. guise of a faultlessly
dressed, man. ' - The contrast is . most
acceptable and. entitles film to the
most deserved applause.
Other' big acts which are making
a phenomenal record for the last time
in Bridgeport today are Ducknell and
Glbnoy in their skit "The Small Time
Johnnjy," Palmiri and Nazzan, the
world famed Italian strong men;
Perry's Minstrel Maids, which With
nine, beautiful . women in an old fash
ioned minstrel and musical comedy . act
are putting something new across the
footlights ; Demaiat and Doll, in a
hilarious scream at the piano and the
La Vine Clmeron Trio. i .
The great picture made by the Ka
lem Company and featuring a runa
way railroad train with romance in
terwoven closes tonight Many large
feature "acts will open here on Thurs
day to continue the advanced supreme
vaudeville now being staged at the
big Poli house. -
PARK THEATRE
NAZIMOVA TONIGHT.
: One of the New York dailies said at
the time of Madame Nazimova'a production-of
"Bella Donna," at the Em
pire theater: "Great dramatic effect
is added tec the character portrayed by
Madame . Nazimova- in the Pagan
adaptation of Robert Hichene1 play,
'Bella Donna,' by her amazing gowns.
In the title role, this remarkable ac
tress presents the mentality of the ser
pent. Throughout the play she sug
gests the physical appearance of the
serpent. Her gowns cling in sinuous
lines that seem to writhe as befits such
a character." In the role of ', "Bella
Donna," Nazimova has the strongest
acting part in which she has yet been
seen. . Charles Frohman has provided
an especially elaborate production for
the play and the company . which is
headed by Charles Bryant, who was
j brought from London especially for the
I part, having been a. member of the
English production of the play,,; ifl

"THE ROSEY POSEY GIRLS." . .
- The bill .at the Park for Thursday,
Friday and Saturday 'will be "The
.Rosey Posey Girls" company, noted
for- the ginger of its offerings and its
female contingent. "The Mayor's Elec
tion" and "The Little 'Widow," the ti
tles of the opening and closing satires,
wriften by M. J. Kelly and staged by
Manager P. S. Clark, and produced by
a great list of well known burlesque
favorites who. have always been re
ceived favorably in all the Columbia
Amusement company's theaters.
THE PLAZA
No individual act on the Plaza bill
this week has a monopoly on laugh
making for each and every number
seems to have been specially con
structed for the purpose of provoking
convulsive laughter, - and they all do
Justice to their designers intentions.
Everything brings a round of laugh
ter or an outburst of applause, a sure
sign of an appreciated performance
and appreciative audiences. It would
be difficult to judge by the applause
which one was the headliner for they
are all called upon for encores. -
Burrows, Travers and company in
their comedy playlet are making a
tremendous hit. There is no plot or
connection but as lively a bunch of
absurd situations possible to Imagine
and the kind of dialogue that comes
across the "foots" at a "sixty mile an
hotir". gale, with not a dull moment
from beginning to end.
Billy Dynes, the tramp comedian
with the female soprano voice keeps
the audience in roars of laughter from

WANTS $600,000 FOR
COS PORATION PROBE
Washington, ,D. C, Nov. 19 -Joseph
E. Davies, Commissioner of Corpora
tions, has reported that he- would ask
Congress' for $500,000 to defray the
expenses of an investigation of the big
interstate- corporations which his
bureau is about -.to institute under the
direction of President Wilson. It will
be the most extensive work ever un
dertaken by the- Bureau of Corpora
tions. If Congress appropriates that
amount it Is the intention of Mr. Da-
vies to aouDie nis present rorce.
"The investigation," Mr. Davies
said, will be two-fold." We will make
m seientlfte study of the question of
monopoly to determine the question of
fact "as to the alleged advantages " of
economies in productpin ,by the trust
form .of "enterprise. . The attitude of
the Democratic party on the question
of monopolies is, of course, . well
known, and my own adherence to the
declarations of the platform never has
been fairly open, to question.
- "The Pujo and Stanley committees
of Congress made exhaustive investi
gations, as did also the Committee on
Judiciary of the House and the Inter
state Commerce Commission of the
Senate,; and have demonstrated that
certain evils exist which should be
remedied forthwith. "These committees
have given the most careful considera
tion- to '.the remedy. In my judgment
Congress and these committees will
address themselves to these remedies.
and any investigation which this
bureau will make will not interfere
with or delay Congress in this work.
PATRICK MORRISSEY
